Growing up I watched my Grandfather eat this quite regularly for breakfast and lunch, it was the original fast food, Cajun style. He sure could cook for a man (while we are being sexist):

COUCHE COUCHE

A very old-time, traditional breakfast, couche couche is the Cajun version of fried cornmeal mush.

1/4 cup oil

2 cups yellow cornmeal

1-1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

3/4 cup milk

3/4 cup water

Heat the oil in a heavy pot or preferable a cast iron dutch oven.
Mix the dry ingredients, then add the milk and water. Pour the batter into the hot oil, and allow a crust to form on the bottom before stirring. Reduce heat to low and stir occasionally; cook for about 15 minutes.
Serve in bowls with milk and sugar, like a hot cereal.
